`- rl`jhis invention isforlimprovements infor' Y i relating to `passenger vehielesfof theftypei'in 1U TWhicht passengers arejcarriedinside,` and fon the roof of', thel body,v and in which l a plate:
form outside one end of the body and 'stairl case extending therefrom', also outside'` the body, yto the roof 'thereof are provided@'f i5 Manyconstructions of omnibus arefinclude'd in* this typeV ofv vehicle, 'and the invention l is particularly applicable to vomnilouses.,4 Th'ej` invention'hasfforone of its vobjects to pro--4V vide a construction of'veliilevhieh shall be :20 both' strong andlight, ther requisit y being given to theaforesaidplatformfand staircase Withoutimposing severe' rstresses]v Y upon the bodyof the vehicle rv'and Vconsequently Without necessitating a-heavy 0011-;

In building jomnibuses it is convenient to construct the staircase andplatform asseparate units or entities from thebody ofthe omnibus, if `when this is done the `chassis of body, as has been the/.case in some previous `constructions, andy the platform and staircaseare left to be entirely Supported from Ythe end'of the body, ythe body has to -be stiiiened and strengthened.Withratherheavy Vmetal plates Vbesides having to be generally of Vheavier construction than Would other-V wise be necessary. Infthe arrangement according to the present invention,`fhowever,
49 the chassis is'inthe kno-Wn manner extended beyond the rear of the body'and receives the platform and staircase, supporting their- The platform and staircase, ofl course, are anchoredY to the rear of the body; Y,but'the latter does not'isupport `theirweight Weight.
and consequently, being; relieved ofV these 'f Stresses, can lbe madelighter in construction than heretofore. f
ForV a more completev understanding of 5 the invention there will now Vbe'described, by Way of exampleon'ly and with-reference to the "accompanying drawings, one con-A structional form kof oninibusa-ecording to the 1 invention. It is to be understood, however,`
